  • Publication number: 20240068869
    Abstract: In some implementations, a device may identify, based on spectroscopic data, a pseudo steady state end point indicating an end of a pseudo steady state associated with the blending process. The device may identify a reference block and a test block from the spectroscopic data based on the pseudo steady state end point. The device may generate a raw detection signal associated with the reference block and a raw detection signal associated with the test block. The device may generate a statistical detection signal based on the raw detection signal associated with the reference block and the raw detection signal associated with the test block. The device may determine whether the blending process has reached a steady state based on the statistical detection signal.

  • Publication number: 20230204417
    Abstract: In some implementations, a device may identify, based on spectroscopic data, a pseudo steady state end point indicating an end of a pseudo steady state associated with the blending process. The device may identify a reference block and a test block from the spectroscopic data based on the pseudo steady state end point. The device may generate a raw detection signal associated with the reference block and a raw detection signal associated with the test block. The device may generate a statistical detection signal based on the raw detection signal associated with the reference block and the raw detection signal associated with the test block. The device may determine whether the blending process has reached a steady state based on the statistical detection signal.

  • Publication number: 20230204502
    Abstract: A device may receive spectroscopic data associated with a dynamic process. The device may identify a pseudo steady state end point based on the spectroscopic data. The pseudo steady state end point may indicate an end of a pseudo steady state associated with the dynamic process. The device may identify a reference block and a test block based on the pseudo steady state end point, and may generate a raw detection signal associated with the reference block and a raw detection signal associated with the test block. The device may generate an averaged statistical detection signal based on the raw detection signal associated with the reference block and the raw detection signal associated with the test block, and may determine whether the dynamic process has reached a steady state based on the averaged statistical detection signal.

  • Publication number: 20100279626
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods for limiting mobile device functionality in defined environments. One system includes a detection arrangement for detecting illicit mobile device RF transmissions and/or an operating state in relation to a defined environment, and a disabling arrangement for at least partially disabling the functionality of the mobile device upon detection of an illicit mobile device RF transmission or a particular operating state. For instance, the system may be implemented in an automobile or aircraft cabin to prevent drivers and/or passengers from utilizing at least one functionality of a mobile device (e.g., talking, texting, interne surfing).

  • Patent number: 7612733
    Abstract: An electron tunneling device includes a first non-insulating strip and a second non-insulating strip spaced apart from one another such that first and second end portions, respectively, of the first and second non-insulating strips cooperate to form an antenna having an antenna impedance. The first and second non-insulating strips include a transition region that extends from the antenna to a tunneling region in which the first and second non-insulating strips are in a confronting relationship. An arrangement cooperates with a portion of each of the first and second non-insulating strips in the tunneling region to form an electron tunneling structure exhibiting a tunneling region impedance. The transition region is configured to match the antenna impedance to the tunneling region impedance. The transition region can provide for changing an electromagnetic field orientation between the antenna and the tunneling region.
